Default EF9 VSS where to buy? or alternative?

Here's the deal, I have a EF9 swap (JDM B16 with Y1 LSD Transmission). My issue is that the transmission came with no Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). I've been trying various VSS's but gears are all too big for the LSD diff.

So basically, I need the VSS from the JDM EF9. As far as I've been able to figure out that's the only one that will fit. Anyone know where I can one?

too big for the diff? so the drive gear wont sit all the way down into the trans cause the speedo gear on the diff is larger? or what?

Just found out today that I actually have a Cusco LSD not OEM Honda. That is why none of my VSS's would fit... Gotta source out a Cusco speedo gear now

usually when you swap in an lsd you transfer the speedo drive ring gear from the original diff to the lsd.
